Chapter 11: Departure
That night, there was no sleep; In the study, the lights are always on.
Yu Yao lay on the bed, tossing and turning, only to feel that her chest was sore.
She remembered what she had seen in the Qinglou, and she had a plan, so she immediately jumped off the bed, lit the lamp, and sat in front of the mirror to make up.
She doesn't have any hair accessories, she works in Su Mansion all the year round, and her hair is all pulled up, so there is no need to use accessories. She simply put down all her hair, and it reached her waist. She took out the red shirt that Su Yan bought for her when she went to the town from the bedside table, and at that time she specially asked her mother-in-law to help sew winter clothes and summer skirts, and the sizes were larger.
She was born bright, dressed in red, and had a strange sense of charm.
Yu Yao looked in the mirror and tried to learn a few postures that she thought were beautiful, so she left the room.
Su Yan really stayed in the study, but the light in the study was not extinguished, so he must have not stopped at this time.
She took a deep breath in the doorway and pushed it open.
"Yu Yao?! Why are you doing this...... Not. Before Su Yan finished speaking, his mouth was blocked by Yu Yao's lips.
Clumsy, green, and hasty, this is Yu Yao's first kiss.
She finally thought of what kind of gift she wanted to give Su Yan today, and she was willing to give herself as a gift with both hands.
She clasped Su Yan's neck tightly, grabbed his hand and put it on her body, when she saw Ning Qing acting with her lover outside the door, now she doesn't understand, she can only follow suit.
"What do you do!" She was pushed away after all, and a resounding slap landed on the left side of her face.
This is Su Yan, who she is not familiar with, the first time, seeing such an angry appearance, her tears fell like this, drop after drop, this time, Su Yan did not squat down to wipe away her tears, nor did she support her or touch her head.
"If you don't know how to respect and love yourself, how do you ask others to love you!"
"But Su Yan!" Yu Yao just like that, a dry roar burst out of her throat, "I just want to stay with you!" Don't you like me too! Why did you kick me out and get married! ”
"I can be your master! Your master! Your brother! Only it can't be your husband! Why don't you understand! Su Yan banged on the table and lifted all the inkstone pen and ink off the case. Yes, I like you, but that's just the love between the master and the apprentice, the master of the family and the servant, and the brother and sister, why don't you understand! ”
Yu Yao on the ground covered her ears and trembled, curled up, she was very afraid of Su Yan like this, she hoped that this was just a nightmare of herself, when she woke up, Su Yan would smile and ask her, she slept well yesterday, and then she could have thrown herself into Su Yan's arms and coquettish, and told him that she was very sad in her dream and was very scared.
But this was not a dream, the loud noise startled the other servants, and the night lights of the Su Mansion were raised one after another, and everyone put on their coats, hurried over, and gathered at the door of the study.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" The old woman knocked on the door and walked in.
"Dress her and take her back to rest." The words were indifferent, and between the words, he didn't look at Yu Yao.
"Miss Yuyao, let's go with the old slave, the night is heavy, be careful of catching a cold."
Yu Yao finally fell asleep with tears in her eyes, some people said that love is lighter than the dust in the air, and at this time Yu Yao knew, for Su Yan, love was more important than the mountains in Longzhong. Life is eight hardships, and today, she understands the meaning of asking for but not getting.
With the passage of time, the matchmaker gradually dispersed, along with Su Yan's gaze and gentleness.
Yu Yao was forbidden to enter and leave the study, even if he rubbed shoulders with Su Yan in the courtyard, he only glanced at it lightly, and he was not even willing to give a word.
He also often plays the piano, but when Yu Yao sings and harmonizes, the piano stops abruptly. The habit of going to the back mountain every five days has not changed, Yu Yao was afraid of being disgusted, so she just secretly followed behind, and every time, Su Yan just hugged the qin and sat on the stone, speechless.
obviously gets along under the same roof, but hard life has become a strange stranger.
This continued for two years, until Yu Yao was eighteen years old.
It's still spring, and it seems that good things will always come when spring is bright. On this spring afternoon, Su Yan called Yuyao to the study.
She was overjoyed, thinking about how to dress up so as not to disgust Su Yan, and for a while, she went to ask her mother-in-law for rouge, and smeared it on her face and lips for the first time. I touched my hair again and again, and made sure that there were no extra strands of hair scattered, so I hurriedly ran to the study.
There was not only Su Yan sitting in the room, but a middle-aged woman with a kind face sitting at the other end of the desk, seeing Yu Yao coming in, she hurriedly stood up and took her hand to look carefully.
"Yu Yao, say hello, this is the aunt of the Yuan family who came to propose marriage."
For a while, Yu Yao only felt that her ears were buzzing, and she couldn't hear any sound, and the blood in her body coagulated like this, and it was cold from the soles of her feet to her heart.
"Sure enough, she is a very beautiful girl, she has a good appearance, a good temperament, and she can do it, and she can ask for such a marriage, but it is a blessing that the Yuan family can't cultivate in a few lifetimes." The aunt smiled and returned the salute to Su Yan.
Su Yan hurriedly waved her hand, "Auntie is polite, Yu Yao is a member of the Su family after all, Su also hopes to find a good family for her, it is her blessing to be able to marry into the Yuan family, as for the dowry, ......"
"You hate me so much?" Yu Yao bowed her head and said.
"You're in such a hurry to get me out?"
"Am I doing something wrong again?"
"You really can't tolerate me at all?"
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and replied, "You are eighteen, the Yuan family is famous, and you will not be wronged......
"Grievance?" Yu Yao sneered, "Am I suffering less from you?" ”
The aunt was just embarrassed in the middle, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
"Su Yan, you really didn't like me, even a little?"
Su Yan didn't say anything.
"Okay, now I will fulfill your wish, you don't have to bother to drive me, I will go."
So, he went out of the door.
"Miss Yuyao!" The aunt was just about to chase after her, but was stopped by Su Yan.
Su Yan smiled, "My aunt is ugly, Yuyao is angry, Su is pampered, she just goes out to play, and she will come back later." ”
Having said that, ......" Aunt still looked worried.
"Auntie has dinner and then leaves, presumably at dinner, the girl will come back again."
She didn't come back.
"Go and make the food hot again, there is a water chestnut cake she likes today, don't wait for her to come back and it will be cold."
"Young master, it's been hot three times......"
"Go hot again."
……
Su Yan waited in the dining room for a night, and the horseshoe was hot and cold, cold and hot, and the skin was scattered.
He didn't wait after all.
After that, one day, one week, one month, one year,
Yu Yao didn't come back.
